"The layout of this state park was somewhat unusual: there are five loops within one larger loop with 32 sites plus seven additional pull-through sites on the outside of the loop."
"It is not far away from freeway I90.
It has never been crowded when we were there in spring or fall. Big campground, clean and tidy, in an open area with few trees. Shower building was OK."

"Seven sites, most lakeside. Boat ramp and bathroom facilities."
"With the Madison river spots filling up fast Ennis lake usually has spots to offer. It is close to some residents but this isn’t a lake in the mountains."
ScoutNice looking campground. Helpful staff. Very clean. Good showers. All of this said, I am writing this in the middle of the night because I am awake due to another train.
RangerPlenty of cell signal as it is right next to the town. You can walk into town if you like. 2 clean pit toilets, 11 spots. Heavy day use for the boat launch but most sites are away from that area. No wood to scrounge, although burn ban during my visit. On the madison river so great for fishing. Also Ennis lake is only 6 miles.
Although a small town there are a couple gas stations and a decent sized grocery. Busy on the weekends and you can hear card on the highway but there are few at night.
Sites are mowed down and open. 7 thru 11 can hold several vehicles and tents. For groups get 10&11 together or 7&8.
Plenty of sun for solar, large shade trees at some sites, easy starlink connect.
ScoutBecause I pulled in late last night, I just went to the first place that I found group camping. Although it was group, nobody was right on top of each other. The road goes on and on winds around there’s plenty of sites everywhere, I have a truck camper, so it’s almost like having a car. I did see other people that have larger trailers But none of those big ones.
TravelerNot many spots open when we arrived at 8:00 pm, but it’s nice for something quick. Near the road so some road noise but other than that it was quiet. A vault toilet and a trash here.
ScoutSmall campground tucked away in town. Walking distance to the cute center of town. Clean —and convenient.
LegendWe rolled in after the office closed at 7 - the camp ground looks like it has some wonderful amenities. Sadly we didn’t get to take advantage of them. Cute store and other fun stuff for the kids. We were in a back in site that had a huge yard area and super convenient walking path to the hot springs just feet away. We went in the evening and the hot springs vibe at night is so cool. Propane flames and soft music are all around. It’s amazing.
LegendThis is a small KOA. Super friendly staff. Sites are shady unless you have a big rig - that area does not have shade. Decent dog park. Decent playground. I did not use the bath house so can’t comment on that. No pool, but did have a nice patio area with tables and chairs behind the store. I just stayed one night as we are on the road home. I do have one complaint and that is the sprinklers that came on overnight - it soaked the chairs and picnic table by our camper. I think the friendliness of the staff and the shady sites are the main reason for 5 stars.
GuideLarge, flat campground with some large trees dotted throughout. Bathrooms were clean, showers were good- cost 50¢ per minute with a minimum of 6 minutes, there was a change machine outside the bathrooms but we had quarters so I can’t say whether it works or not. Overall it was a nice place to stay.
TravelerSpot 2. Right next to boat ramp so a little more traffic than other sites. There ARE picnic tables and fire pits. Bathroom available. Right next to water. Little shade and it is HOT today.
